The friendly Belgian professional cyclist is racing the 2020 season with the Team Israel Start-Up Nation.
Ben Hermans is racing mostly on the FACTOR O2 VAM Disc which is the Lightweight climbing bike model from FACTOR.

Ben had a tremendous year 2019 and have won several multi stages races including the Tour of Austria and the Tour of UTAH.
As I look at Ben’s racing result it seems like he is getting more performant over the years.

Ben Hermans is not a “pure climber” as he weight 72kg at peak form for 1m86 tall however he is definitely a climber hence the reason for him to race on the FACTOR climbing model.

The greatest road racer of South Africa’s cycling history is racing the 2020 season for the team Mitchelton-Scott on a Scott Addict RC.

Daryl is a TT trial specialist and very fast sprinter, earning himself several South African TT and road race national champion titles, in fact he is the greatest South African champion of the country’s cycling history.

It was unfortunate Chris Froome (aka Froomey) got badly injured during the 2019 season and couldn’t defend his Tour de France domination for the 2019 edition.

For the 2020 season Chris is racing on the new Pinarello Dogma F12 X Light which is claimed to be 200gr. lighter than the F12 version while being stiffer laterally.
